Re: Engine bearings and con rod bolts supplier

Thanks Tom, I think we are sorted now. We use ARP stuff regularly - its the best, although the lead times can be crippling. I'll check to see if we need head studs for a 330GTC project we have coming up soon

Engine bearings and con rod bolts supplier

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best manufacturer of main and crank (big-end) bearings for a 330GT? We are looking for top quality and wondered if there is a 'preferred supplier' for these. Also a question regarding con rod bolts. Are these re-usable or should they be replaced automatic...

Re: Anybody seen or used the repro stainless bumpers?

We recently fitted a set of these 'Vietnam' bumpers to a 330GT series 1 and we are very pleased with them. They arrived well packaged and unmarked, and the front one fitted perfectly although the rear one needed a little minor fettling. We would definitely buy again. I've also fitted these to my 246...

Re: 250/330 rear spring bolts

I might be able to help here Andrew. We have a 330GT series 1 (5465GT) and the rear suspension is on the bench at the moment and about to be refitted. I also have another here in the process of restoration (6777GT) so can refer to that one also. I'm not sure exactly what you need to know but I'm hap...

330GT door mechanism plastic clip

Does anyone have a source for the small plastic part that holds the door mechanism together – see the part circled in the photo below (photo coutesy of Tom Yang). I have two cars with these parts either missing or broken.

What I am interested in is does the half with the feed holes fit into the block or into the main bearing cap? Is...
